ZOA Zero Sugar Energy Drinks, Tropical Punch - Sugar Free with Electrolytes, Healthy Vitamin C, Amino Acids, Essential B-Vitamins, and Caffeine from Green Tea - 12 Fl Oz (12-Pack)

First off, I am sensitive to most energy drinks these days (i.e., monster, rockstar, bang, reign, etc.), and most of those have given me bad anxiety or panic attacks likely due to the ingredients and high level of caffeine (300mg). I was hesitant to want to try ZOA as i assumed it would be like any other energy drink I’ve had.My findings:Caffeine: it’s perfectly tolerable for me. The green tea coffee and green tea extract total out with “natural caffeine” at 160mg. The caffeine in here appears to be naturally sourced which metabolizes differently then normal lab (synthetic) produced high content caffeine like other major brands (which usually causes jitters, shakes, anxiety etc.) The synthetic caffeine also tends to give you a faster caffeine rush vs the more natural caffeine which is why you experience a crash.I’ve found it to be a perfect mid-day pick-me-up, a perfect pre workout or even a good post workout to get you back on your feet after being tired. Best of all, i don’t experience a “crash” like I do on many other energy drinks. I don’t get the shakes, “rush” or crazy side effects I’ve felt with other energy drinks. This seems to be just the perfect amount of ingredients to be tolerable and also doesn’t include the things like ginseng, taurine and other junk. Zoa has the good balance of vitamins, the camu camu and turmeric extract.Sugar: if you want to keep it simple then get the sugar version with normal sugar and it will keep you fuller, but then yes there is the sugar aspect to it. I prefer to stick to the artificial sweeteners and I’m personally okay with sucrolose but yes ace-k has been linked to its issues (cancer, Brian function, etc.). Personally if you are drinking energy drinks in the first place you can’t expect to have every ingredient be healthy anyway - i don’t think that’s reasonable with any energy drink. But the taste from the regular sugar and artificial sweeteners are great. I have nothing bad to say about them. It’s not stevia or monk fruit but at the end of the day they are all just sweetners.Flavors: I’d rank them in this order: Pineapple Coconut, Tropical Punch, Orange, White Peach, Super Berry. I don’t care for original or lemon lime. But the first five… absolutely love them (I’m sure my picture of my fridge speaks for itself lol). Flavors are delicious and taste just as they are described. Some don’t like the flavor likely due to the sweetners, but they taste even better with regular sugar version.Overall, ZOA is awesome IMO. Definitely recommend trying it if you’ve been hesitant.

New favorite energy drink! All of the flavors were good, although, not a huge fan of the watermelon. Has about 160mg of caffeine vs other drinks with 200. Caffeine comes from green tea and green coffee beans. Has multiple vitamins and electrolytes. I wish I could find them in bulk at stores!

ZOA is now my go to in the morning. They taste great and give me a boost of energy without jitters or a crash.

The product itself is good. The flavors are all pretty good and the price was pretty fair. Only issue was every can has been damages. Idk if it was in shipping or from warehouse but it doesn't change drink itself just something to be aware of.

Will buy again!I was looking for a drink that isn't too sweet, doesn't taste like chemicals or smell like a beer. This is it! The fruit flavor is a little too mild for my liking. But, it's great just the same! I live the variety, the not overbearing sweetness. I like to share new products with my co workers which is what I did when these arrived. I do believe we will all be ordering these in the future.Green 🍏 apple is good. Pineapple Coconut 🍍🥥is good. Not a huge fan of anything peach flavored. But the white peach 🍑is good too. Next on the list is Orange 🍊 , and I am looking forward to that!

Very good! This was the last Zoa flavor I think I needed to try. It was definitely up there in my favorites but I prefer Pineapple Coconut. Something I don't like with Zoa's are the sucrose in it. I'm sure the contents of sucrose are pretty high which makes up for the sugar it supposedly doesn't have. I think this should definitely be addressed though with the company if it's supposed to be a healthy drink. Instead of sucrose maybe sugar alcohol?

ZOA, Mr. Dwayne Johnson, you have one of the best energy drinks on the market EXCEPT for using sucralose. Just because all the other "zero-sugar" energy drinks do it, does not mean that you folks need to. At first, I didn't believe everyone's claims about how sucralose can mess-up your gut bacteria, until I started drinking one ZOA a day, every day, for a couple months... I keep my body clean and I introduce one new thing in my diet every few months so I can specifically see how my body reacts to the changes (sure, call me weird if you want but I get the scientific method). After drinking ZOA every day for months I started having all kinds of weird gut-related issues every day, for many days. Within days of no longer drinking ZOA and taking probiotics my gut started to feel better, but it took a couple weeks to go back to what I would consider normal. ZOA, please consider using a product called PURECANE, or Monk Fruit, or stevia, even if it costs more. I can say from experience that Purecane is a game-changer, it tastes just like real sugar, and studies so far show that it does not mess with your gut or blood-sugar, and its zero calories. I use Purecane in my coffee daily as part of my keto diet, and its never messed with my gut or body as a whole. Monk fruit and stevia are good alternative options too. I can say that I love the pineapple coconut ZOA and I can probably go back to drinking it a few alternate days a week instead of daily and I'll be alright, but I dont understand why ZOA has all this marketing and different flavors and still no alternatives to sucralose sweetener in their products like Celsius and other brands offer these days. ZOA has no crash and I generally feel great when using it, aside from the downsides of sucralose that keep me from using ZOA daily...and I sure do wish that I could drink one ZOA per day without issues. Please consider what I write ZOA, then you'll have an unbeatable product.
